To assemble the gift jar:
- Wash and thoroughly dry a 1-quart wide-mouth canning jar. (Decorative or vintage jars make a great keepsake after the muffin mix is used, just make sure the jar is food safe and washed thoroughly.).
- Layer the ingredients in the jar as listed above, starting with the sugar on the bottom, then flour, cranberries, ginger, baking powder, baking soda and finally salt.
- Press each ingredient layer firmly into place with a flat-bottomed object (like a plastic cup) before adding the next.
- Secure the lid.
- Create a recipe card that shares directions to prepare & bake muffins.

Directions to prepare muffins:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- In a large bowl combine buttermilk, butter, eggs and vanilla.

- Spoon batter into greased or papered muffin tins, filling each cup two-thirds full.
- Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

- Serve immediately or store in a sealed container for up to one week.
